yeah i read your hyper st thread a little - you've not broken in the engine have you?

i was thinking of getting another nitrage cos my lhs cut the price to about 30%.... but then i caught wind of news that tamiya is going to release a 1/8 something very soon

heard anything?

qaiz

ITS SOOOO CLEAN.!

Dude are you using re-chargable batteries with that.?!

What engine is that.?

Otherwise, Great Build.

I Miss my Nitrage [&o]

qaiz

I heard that too.

Im guessing a Nitrage Part 2.!

Why would you want 2 Nitrages lol!?!?!

Ive broken it in about 80% of the way through.

1 Tip with your Nitrage.

Keep the diffs' in good running condition.!, otherwise you'll just throw away all the power.!

nauticar

clean - not for long lol

haha yeah i was going to buy a hump pack for the servos....and some duracell or energizer alkalines but i was lazy

what engine? its the stock one - i got the tamiya aluminum hop up heatsink on a whim lol

thanks for the compliment, its really not difficult to build thankfully.

you miss your nitrage? go buy yourself another kit lol tho i dont think ure gonna have much time building it up lol

qaiz

Forget time lol, MONEY.

I have none.!

Plus 2 Trucks are more than enough for me at the time.

Definately will get a new one once I move

Again, amazing looking truck you got there.!

nauticar

actually i dont need 2 nitrages, i just need 2 truggies - to bash with my brothers (or gf lol)

thanks for the diff tip - but how do i maintain them? checking the fluid level time to time?

qaiz

Yupp.

Like after break in.

And afer that every 10 tanks or so.

That was one of the mistakes I made with my Nitrage, I was running on a blown rear diff.

nauticar

where did the fluid go?

qaiz

I have no idea.

Evaporated maybe.

Who knows lol.

I just know now not to make the same mistakes again.!

I wish i had a roto start system.!

nauticar

think you pushed your nitrage really really hard lol! hey thanks for sharing man. you probably saved me the trouble of rebuilding a diff (and downtime - sucks)

the SH engine doesnt have a roto option does it?

qaiz

Nope [&o]

Yeah lol, I really pushed my Nitrage over the edge.

Ill just rebuild it up sooner or later, once I have some money lol.

Hi guys, I am thinking about getting a Nitrage..... But,....... I have heard about reliability concerns reguarding the spur-gear in the gearbox/the gearbox failing. Have any of you come across any prob's??

rcpowerhorse

i haven't had any spur gear or gearbox probs and on saturday i put in a 2 speed
get it get it get it get it amazing car

nauticar

adam - read the whole thread, and look at qaiz's nitrage (or whats left of it lol).

from what ive gathered online, the spur gear stripping problem was confined to the first few batches of nitrages that were released.i believe tamiya rectified that problem in the later nitrage batches

personally ive not even run the thing yet lol

rcpowerhorse

well you should run it

qaiz

Well obviousely he'll run it lol, its not a shelf queen

Its a great truck, needs very little to be made into a 100% basher.

Ive started to slowly rebuild mine.

God there are a lot of e-clips.!

rcpowerhorse

what do you mean rebuild???????????

qaiz

I mean rebuild.

I need new everything literillay.

rcpowerhorse

qaiz could you part with the back plate (the bit the starter unit screws onto) for the ofna .32 thanks

qaiz

Sorry dude, just gave off the engine yesterday to a friend. He wanted the con-rod or something outta it. Dont have it anymore.

azzman

Well there must be a reason for the price cut...the reason is he wants it gone...now it could be because he needs it gone for a new one they are bringing out (he wouldn't want both in the shop) or he just wants it gone because they arent selling very well and its been sitting there for too long...
Now if Tamiya were to replace the Nitrage this soon with a better model...well it just about sums up what I think of the Nitrage really...[:'(]

Hey if its an offer you cant let go, then go for it but it would have to be WELL below the $300 mark to make it worthwhile... (IMO)

EDIT: No offence Qaiz...[8D]

qaiz

None taken bro

Dont go around trying to bash my Hyper now

azzman

Hyper...now there is nothing to bash about that sweet ride...

-=NitrageN=-

Hey guys, i'm the new guy...guess what i'm bashing around with....

-=NitrageN=-

Couple of things....

1) is the 2 speed tranny from the factory really worth the money, and if so is it fully adjustable? i.e. can i set it up to boost top end, or inversely set it to hard shift faster, at 10 mph to reach current single speed tranny top end faster? Where can i buy some aluminum shoes for it (even if you can't see them, you know they're peeemp. [8D]

2) Does anyone know where i can get legit custom decals made at... I just about killed the stock body learning to drive a couple of my local tracks and im doing a custom paint job on a clear body... I'm looking for racing numbers 26, a fig newtons logo, and yes... a wonder bread logo... That's right gentlemen, i'm building a "ricky bobby" nitrage; complete with white wing and slotted black wheels...

thanks for the help...
